Why Food Porn?

I have always been fascinated by food - the textures, aromas, colours, amazing fusions and sheer variety of ingredients and dishes.....It is a vital part of my memory of events as I can recall what food I ate at a particular moment in my past. For many years now, I have been reviewing for TripAdvisor and bombarding my hapless friends with an almost pornographic array of food photographs. I knew that I could do better in tailoring my tastes ( no pun intended) to a more appreciative audience, which is the reason behind this blog. The advent of smart phones with cameras means that my obsession with food is now documented anywhere and everywhere. I hope that through my vision, you can enjoy a perusal into the amazing diversity of human imagination and eating habits as I eat my way around the world and in the city where I live, Barcelona. My aim is to convey the beauty of food- for it is more than a physical need - along with the setting behind and around it and maybe, a small story or two along the way :-)

I would like to warn you that my passion for food is not matched by my expertise at taking photographs but, I still hope that my enthusiasm will more than make up for my lack of skill!

Me!
